Good morning, friends. I would love to be all light and fuzzy this morning, but alas, I cannot. Our country is going through so much divisiveness and so many struggles, not just with COVID and the pandemic rules, but with friends and family members with lost jobs, economic struggles for those that, thankfully, prior to this, have not had to experience a grocery line or wait and pray that they can get a food box. Then, there's what's going on in Washington... And, even though, I will not and do not want anyone to get political, here, it is a sad week... month... for American democracy. My prayers go out to all those living in fear when they go to work. I'm praying for our leaders and those in power to make good choices for the greater good of all Americans, And, while, possibly, we might disagree on what that may be, I think we can all agree on peace and kindness. That being said and acknowledged at this specific time in history, I will get on with the party and thank you all for being here and we will put out our positivity, by enabling others to make their corners of the world a little more beautiful, a little more tasty, and possibly even a little more enriched.
So, if you are cold and down and maybe a little overwhelmed pop over to Comfort Spring Station and print out one of Carol's adorable Valentine Gnomes! Carol shared her post"Top Posts of 2020" but I, honestly, could not see past this sweetheart.
Cindy, The Luch Lady shared this yummy, and guaranteed to warm your belly, recipe for her Better Than Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup Yes, please!! Can you see my hand waving?!! Love this!
And, Debbie from Debbie Dabble says let's just accept what it is with her sweet Wreath from Winter Crafting and a Bit of Snow and Just go ahead and Let it Snow, eh, Deb?!
Thank you for your words today Theresa...and thank you for giving us a place to share positivity! My links are #27, 28, 29.

ReplyDeleteJulie, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Christ to turn to. I believe the words in the quote you shared are very true. Although He never promised it would be easy. and that's okay too. Thank you so much for your words and for joining us each week. I, so, enjoy your shares. ")
